Much of what a Policy Analyst does is essentially policy work. Duties include the activities associated with policy development i.e. research, analysis, consultation and synthesis of information to produce recommendations. It also involves an evaluation of options against a set of criteria used to assess each option.
An effective policy process is one that is generally characterized by the following five attributes: 1. Issue Identification; 2. Issue Analysis; 3. Generating Solutions; 4. Consultation; and 5. Performance Monitoring.
